Is there any way you can put her in the seat? Maybe ride along for a pass or two. Maybe you make the first pass or two like you would a kid. She won't learn how to do it by watching you anyway.

I don't like borrowing and I don't like loaning. I used to load things more readily but a few years ago I loaned a tractor to someone and he put another guy on it and that fella broke the tractor in half! This brings up a major pet peeve of mine which is if I loan YOU something I think the least you can do is operate it yourself rather than putting some minion on it. This is similar to fishing rights or hunting rights. If I give YOU permission my permission doesn't extend to all your friends and relatives. I don't think I'm asking to much when I expect this to be implied but apparently I am.

Excellent point. It's called Karma.

When I started in farming, I didn't have everything that I needed. I have had the pleasure of neighbors helping me for no charge. Now that I've accumulated the equipment that I now need, I pass this same service along to others when needed. It's funny how when I help others and don't charge, I will somehow always have something come my way to offset any expense I incurred. I've passed this along to my sons too and they are seeing the benefits of helping your neighbor.

I have an M&W chain baler which is a soft core baler, And that is what I do. I start bailing and watch my tachometer, when it bogs down about 75 to a 100 rpms I tie it and dump the bale. If you don't [ as you know] your bales are loose and don't stack worth a darn.ClinchValley":857yp1ee said:Our baler is a soft core baler. Do any of you use them? I've been trying to get tighter bales. This past cutting, i rolled them until the tractor starting pulling down. Which seemed to give me a tighter roll. Is this the right way to go about it? It is manual. The automatic feature doesn't work correctly.
:shock: :shock: :shock: some how that just doesn't sound good for the baler....Txpiney":1peiu0id said:I have an M&W chain baler which is a soft core baler, And that is what I do.

I have an M&W baler that is 20 years old and still doing a good job. But to the question if my monitor is not working properly as sometimes happens with 20 year old equipment, I have rolled enough hay that I can tell by the way the tractor is pulling how much hay is in the bale, so yes if you have enough experience with the baler you can go by that. On a side note one of my lights does not come on when the bale is full and I can not figure it out why, do y'all have any ideas. I have checked the calibration several times and it always checks that it should be working properly and come on when the other light does. Any help would be appreciated.Txpiney":1ytxpuv6 said:I have an M&W chain baler which is a soft core baler, And that is what I do.

I have put so much hay in the side that the light want come on that it is a foot taller than the side the light does work. I baled 117 roles today with it so I can still put up a good bale, but mostly because I've used it so many years. I'll figure it out one day. Thanks for replying.Txpiney":aqdvd9ay said:kd4au":aqdvd9ay said:I have an M&W baler that is 20 years old and still doing a good job.

My baler has 2 micro switches located on the baler where the door latches latch onto the chamber. They are adjustable, when the bale forms it pushes the door back and the micro switch activates the light. If only the left side light is on, then you need more hay on the right side or vice versa.
